Cole will take the mound in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Cole recorded his second straight quality start in his last outing, tossing six innings of two-run ball against the Dodgers on Friday. After a pair of disappointing starts in late June, the right-hander has posted a 3.63 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 21 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in his last three turns in the rotation. Cole hasn't turned in a scoreless outing since he recorded back-to-back scoreless starts upon his return from the IL in late May, and Wednesday will be a tough test against a red-hot Pirates offense that has scored five or more runs in five of their last eight contests.
